Turntables...

Are you a big dido fan?

 

Who isn't?

 

I really hate to admit to this but since this thread is about turntables. Much as I find her music quite bland I recently with a friend did a cd vs. vinyl of her last album. I know it is an expensive Classic pressing but it really does show the superiority over the cd version.

sadly (and much to be annoyance) I actually listened to the vinyl version from my own free will afterwards.

I have a problem and need help.

 

There's very little music which is of equal quality to Dido's.

 

Too true.

It's right up there with David Gray & James Blunt. Music for music lovers.

 

Emma Bunton?

 

LOL I thought it would have to be something pretty special to get you out of the cowboy gear in your photograph. Did you shave the tache off too? It all helps you know?

Why don't you put the electric hob on a low heat and sit the TT there?

 

My tache doesn't come off for no-one, nor nobody.


On a serious note though: isn't that what's great about these forums? I mean if I hadn't read about this amazing heated bearing, I would never had thought of this simple upgrade.

I've calculated if I take my pants off tonight I will have another minute or two listening time before I pass out.

I'll report back tomorrow!

 

Praise be.

 

Any views on the Roksan TMS?

 

Not unless it's mounted high up.

 

I have only heard the xerxes.

 

doing ye old google fight..

an impressive victory for ATC until you compare them to the market leaders:

Yamaha don't do too bad either

Genelec do badly though.

 

Dynaudio do much better than ATC (and hence PMC) and JBL take the p*ss, but then I guess you'd expect that from the JBL monster.

Edit: apologies bottleneck, just noticed you'd already said that.

 

Bub,

A little bird tells me that the sme has arrived and that the LP12 "Ninja" spontaneously combusted at the mere sight of it. Any first impressions?

Nick.

 

So far, it seems to do what it says on the tin.

 

beats the lp12 ningy all around?

 

It certainly brought a grin to my jaded chops.

 

Congratulations on your new acquisition, James.

It obviously works well with Naim then... ;-)

Cheers,

Jon
